[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6514189, member: 6668292"] Sorry, been away all day. Been a busy one. Anyway, [MENTION=336]D'karr[/MENTION], that's a really meaty post, so thank you for it. I'll mull some stuff over and see if I want to break a little from 4e's expectations. I've been trying to stick really close to RAW (or some version of it, as it seems the rules differ in different places... see Rules Compendium skill challenges as an example), but if it's going to make me not want to run the game, I'll break that decision in a heartbeat. Overall, a big problem is that I'm not much of a prep GM in any other game, or any other system. I didn't prep anything for 3.5 when I ran that for years. I don't prep for my other game I'm currently running (which is my own RPG). So even though 4e is supposedly good for GMs in prep time, it's already eating way more time than I'm used to. Luckily, I find the monsters pretty fun to make (since I basically make them all up or tweak them, save for a stint around levels 5-7, I think?), so that part isn't too bad. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. Like I said, I'll think it over and come up with something I like. I'm good at that :) [/QUOTE]
